I am an assistant professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois (UIUC) . My research interests are broadly in simplifying and improving data analytics, i.e., helping users make better use of their data.
My work involves building real data analytics systems with principled foundations, designing algorithms (with formal guarantees) for the systems, as well as mining data obtained from such systems.
Aditya Parameswaran is an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Illinois (UIUC). He spent the 2013-14 year visiting MIT CSAIL and Microsoft Research New England, after completing his Ph.D. from Stanford University, advised by Prof. Hector Garcia-Molina. He is broadly interested in data analytics, with research results in human computation, visual analytics, information extraction and integration, and recommender systems.
Aditya is a recipient of the Arthur Samuel award for the best dissertation in CS at Stanford (2014), the SIGMOD Jim Gray dissertation award (2014), the SIGKDD dissertation award runner up (2014), the Key Scientific Challenges Award from Yahoo! Research (2010), three best-of-conference citations (VLDB 2010, KDD 2012 and ICDE 2014), the Terry Groswith graduate fellowship at Stanford (2007), and the Gold Medal in Computer Science at IIT Bombay (2007).
I am currently serving on or have served on the Program Committees of: VLDB 2013-14, WWW 2014, SIGMOD 2014-15, WSDM 2015, SOCC 2014, HCOMP 2014, ICDE 2014, and EDBT 2014.
